New build mastic in Preston Bissett
New homes move as they dry out. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. If you have gaps between new skirting and floors and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles, we can help.
Older homes in small places like Preston Bissett often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Preston Bissett and across Buckinghamshire.

Why act early in Preston Bissett
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it can’t bond to what’s underneath. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. Around Preston Bissett, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

Different surfaces, different methods
Windows and doors
Internal joints between frames and plaster often crack as a new house dries. We cut out the cracked bead and reseal with a flexible sealant.
Skirting and floors
Wet-area floor joints need a flexible seal. We seal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
Watch the joints as the house settles. Small gaps can appear as the house dries and can be resealed later.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Early resealing keeps the job small and protects the rest of the house.

- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
How to prepare
